It's almost time for another trip into the frightening and unpredictable criminal underworld depicted in Gangs of London, with a new trailer for the Sky drama revealing what month the show will return.
Fans have been clamouring for details on what the next chapter could hold in store, with new details from the broadcaster teasing a brutal turf war on the brink of eruption in the forthcoming episodes.
In addition to returning stars Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù and Joe Cole, who we can expect to be at the centre of the action, Gangs of London is welcoming T'Nia Miller (The Haunting of Bly Manor) to its ensemble cast in season 3.
She'll be playing an as-yet-unnamed Mayor of London, who is intent on stomping out the city's criminal gangs, while Black Doves star Andrew Koji plays an elusive assassin pivotal to the overarching story.
If you're as excited as we are, read on to find out more about Gangs of London season 3.
Gangs of London season 3 release date speculation
Gangs of London season 3 does not yet have a confirmed premiere date, but Sky has announced that the gritty drama will return in March 2025.
The follow-up was confirmed back in November 2022, meaning fans have been waiting a long time for answers to the biggest questions left hanging after the season 2 finale.
Production on the third season commenced in London from October 2023 and was nearing completion as of April 2024, likely wrapping at some point just before the summer of that year.
Gangs of London enlisted a new director for season 3, with South Korean filmmaker Kim Hong Sun taking the reins, while Kin co-creator Peter McKenna was brought in as head writer and showrunner (replacing Corin Hardy).

Gangs of London season 3 cast: Who's returning?
Gangs of London stars Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù and Joe Cole will be back as Elliot Finch and Sean Wallace respectively in season 3, whose rivalry has only grown more bitter since they first crossed paths.
Also returning to the Gangs of London cast is Michelle Fairley as Marian Wallace, Brian Vernel as Billy Wallace, Orli and Eri Shuka as Luan and Mirlinda Dushaj, and Asif Raza Mir as Asif Afridi.
Other familiar faces include Narges Rashidi as Lale, Jahz Armando as Saba, Fady Elsayed as Faz and Lucian Msamati as Ed Dumani. Pippa Bennett-Warner will also return to play Shannon Dumani.
Meanwhile, new additions to the cast for season 3 include Richard Dormer (Game of Thrones) as ageing gangster Cornelius Quinn, and T’Nia Miller (Fall of the House of Usher) as a strong-willed Mayor of London, intent on tackling organised crime.
Andrew Koji (of recent Black Doves fame) has also joined the cast of Gangs of London for its third entry, where he'll play an assassin at the centre of the conspiracy in this latest chapter.
Gangs of London season 3 plot
Gangs of London season 3 will see the return of Joe Cole's Sean Wallace to the frontlines, after the fan favourite character was largely absent from the second entry.
The official synopsis, courtesy of Sky, reads: "Former undercover cop turned gangster Elliot navigates his new role as a top-level criminal alongside the Dumanis, but the spiking throws their operations into disarray.
"The Wallaces, Luan, Lale, and the street gangs face devastating consequences as personal vendettas collide with professional power struggles bleeding into violent turf wars.
"In the ruthless fight for control of London's criminal underworld, no one is safe. This was no accident — it was a calculated attack. But who's pulling the strings?"
Gangs of London season 2 certainly left plenty of threads hanging in the air for a third season to continue.
The latest run ended with the revelation that Lale (Narges Rashidi) is still alive and appears to be entering into an uneasy alliance with Pakistani kingpin Asif Afridi (Asif Raza Mir).
They both have their sights set on reclaiming power in London's underworld, which seems poised to provoke the "violent turf wars" promised in the description above.
